Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia, or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which children experience poor motor coordination and have difficulty learning motor skills. Movements may be slow or inaccurate in these patients.

Dyspraxia can also manifest in adults, mainly due to brain damage. This is often referred to as acquired dyspraxia.
